These are very cute bento cups! These are reusable environmentally friendly silicone cups. They are perfect for side dishes in bento box. They are also perfect as molds for cute food, jellies etc.

There are 4 in the pack. Please note the temperatures. They can go from -30~230 degrees Celsius. From the freezer to the oven! *Avoid using them with oily food and fat content in oven because it is going to be hotter than 230 degrees Celsius.

This was an amazing find. They are from the "昭和" "showa period" . The "showa" period is from 1926-1989 but these are at about 25-30 years old . This is called "型紙" or "katagami". This is a stencil that was used to make "kashigata" (for more information on "kashigata please see below).

This one is made from paper-but not flimsy normal paper....this is wonderful thick Japanese paper and it is in fabulous condition.

This stencil could be used but it would also be fabulous framed and hung on a wall.

The stencil measures about 18 x 15.5 cm.

竣工 (syunkou) means completion. Japanese use this words when house, bridge and buildings are completed.

More information on "kashigata" (the sweets made from the molds that were made using the stencils).

In the past, when a person died, it was expensive to give flowers or fresh food so, people made sweets (these are made from soy flour, rice flour and sugar) in the form of flowers, fish etc. These items were then placed on the "butsudan" (family shrine found in the house) for the dead person.

The sweets was also used for holiday celebrations, tea ceremony etc. These are for decoration only-they are never eaten.

These are soooo cute embellishments! We put up some pics on our flickr page of another set and had so many comments and flickr mail about the set that we decided to sell this one as is rather than break it up.

You get exactly what you see in the pictures. So kawaii!!

This is unique! In many parts of the world this would be considered a hibachi but in Japan, this cooking stove is actually called a "shichirin" and a hibachi was actually just a heating device- almost never used for cooking.

On this shichirin, there is a piece of beef and a shitake mushroom. Under the grill, there are some charcoal bricks.

It is on a silver tone adjustable band that will fit most ring sizes. It measures about 2.7 cm wide and 2.5 cm tall.
